- Madrid target فيتينها for midfield rebuild
- Alonso wants رودري-style profile this summer
- Midfielder considered untouchable at PSG
With Modric leaving for ميلان and Kroos already retired, Los Blancos are short of midfield control. According to Foot01, Alonso has identified Vitinha as a priority signing with مانشستر سيتي intent on keeping their reported top target, Rodri. However, PSG consider the Portuguese playmaker untouchable and have set a starting price of €130 million (£110m/$141m) an amount that would make this one of the most expensive transfers in football history.
Madrid need a player who can dictate tempo and break lines in midfield, roles previously handled by Kroos and Modric. Vitinha fits that profile, having established himself as a key figure under لويس Enrique at PSG. However, the French champions have no intention of selling easily. This saga adds to Madrid’s already expensive midfield rebuild after the €103m (£87m/$112m) signing of Jude Bellingham in 2023. If they go for Vitinha, it could eclipse that deal and signal one of the most expensive transfers in recent years.
The 25-year-old joined Les Parisiens from Porto in 2022 for €41.5m (£35m/$45m) and has since become an indispensable part of لويس إنريكي‘s tactical setup. A potential €130m sale would mark PSG’s record outgoing transfer, surpassing Neymar‘s move to Al-Hilal. Meanwhile, if the deal goes through, it would also eclipse Madrid’s current record signing Eden Hazard, who joined from تشيلسي for €115m (£97m/$125m).
Los Blancos would need to make a monumental financial move to land Vitinha, but with their summer transfer window reportedly closed, a deal looks unlikely at least for now. Unless PSG lower their demands or Madrid offload big names, this transfer could remain a dream scenario rather than reality.
